MONTEVALLO, Alabama -- Montevallo's North Boundary Street in the downtown area has experienced a facelift thanks to the development project known as the Promenade.

Now that the street is sporting new sidewalks, landscaping, light fixtures and more, maybe it's time the route gets a new name.

The City of Montevallo is planning on posting a poll on its website to get input on a possible new name for North Boundary Street, which many have been calling the Promenade. The project spans a couple of blocks from the University of Montevallo to Orr Park.

Mayor Hollie Cost at Wednesday's City Council meeting said the route is seen by many as a "figurative and literal connection between the city and the university, and the university and the park."

"I think this would be a good poll to put up on the website possibly," Cost said.

She raised the question of the significance of North Boundary Street's name. "I don't know the history of that," she said.

One obvious proposal for the street's new name is the Promenade, but other suggestions would be welcome. "We can put an 'other' button and someone could write in their suggestion" on the website, she said.
